Foreshadowing
• Foreshadowing is used in written art and film to give hints about things to come in later plot developments.
• It can be very broad and easily understood, or it may be complex use of symbols, that are then connected to later twists in the plot.
• Sometimes an author may deliberately use false hints, called red herrings, to send readers or viewers off in the wrong direction.
• This is particularly the case with mystery writers, who want to bury clues to a mystery in information that is partially true and partially false.
